Presectionate e Conventional trapping methods used for Aedes surveillance often require prolonged deployment to obtain adult mosquito samples, thereby limiting their suitability for rapid surveillance and timely vector control responses. This study developed and evaluated Sticky Trap Version 3 (STV03) as a rapid tool for adult Aedes mosquito surveillance. A comparative field study was conducted using STV03, a non-attractant sticky trap used as a control, and a conventional sticky ovitrap. STV03 was developed by integrating multiple host-seeking cues, namely a dark visual surface, heat generated from hot water, and human-derived odour from worn nylon material. Two study sites with different mosquito density levels (high density: >2 mosquitoes per minute; low density: 2 mosquitoes per minute) were selected within a locality with a history of dengue outbreaks. Traps were deployed for three hours (1700-2000 h), and the study was replicated three times at each site. Captured mosquitoes were morphologically identified to the species level STV03 consistently demonstrated superior trapping performance compared with both the control and the sticky ovitrap. In high-density settings. STV03 captured 6-48 adult Aedes mosquitoes per deployment, whereas the control and the sticky ovitrap captured 0-7 and 0-1 mosquitoes. respectively. In low-density settings, STV03 captured 1-6 mosquitoes per deployment, while no mosquitoes were collected either using either the control or the sticky ovitrap. Both Aedes angypt and Aedes albopictus were successfully collected using STV03. This rapid sampling capability facilitates same-day screening for virus detection in mosquitoes, enabling the earlier detection of infected Aedes mosquitoes and supporting timely vector control interventions
